Now back to the 22 recruiting trail. 🤙🏻

Right - especially in today’s game.

I agree, but also think that we’ll run a three guard set more often than not... especially given the length. I think Lander takes a huge step in the right direction as well. Rob, Parker and Leal will all have active roles too, I would imagine. KL showed some fantastic small glimpses of what he can become for a stretch this past season. Personally, I’d look for Gerome to play a bigger role in the post next season.

Brunk to OSU, imo, is a combination of Holtman originally recruiting him to Butler - and Woodson likely(respectfully) letting him know that he doesn’t fit the mold of what he’s trying to do here... not saying JB couldn’t have been successful, but most likely taking a dive in minutes played being a primary factor.

Dane Fife will definitely help us here... not saying that we land JW, but if there were ever anyone who could sell the vision of restoring this sleeping giant - it’s Fife. He knows what’s in store for him and how important it is for CMW to be successful. I really like the fact that he’s been on JW for so long, and this would make the transition of losing TJD a lot smoother(even though they’re completely different players). Lots to look forward to in the future.

Probably right, and he doesn’t have to take any ownership either. UC people can’t stand their AD. That speaks volumes.

I live in southeastern Indiana, and listen to ESPN 1530 out of Cincinnati a lot. The entire thing is bizarre, because they’re saying that the administration opened up an investigation, without talking to Brannen about anything. Then they found him guilty of nothing, so they’re launching another investigation, but nobody has any clue as to why! I think and ESPN 1530’s radio guys suggest that the AD is trying to save face for players entering the transfer portal. “HELLO” it’s not like it isn’t happening everywhere! 😂 It’s a mess right now. Remember my Hoosier brethren, it could always be much, much worse!

So Lander and Geronimo are still in the portal... am I reading that right?

For those worried about recruiting... stop, it’s a waste of time. Woodson can and will use his NBA connections and experience. Woody will likely have some battles trying to win guys over from K, Izzo, Williams, Self etc. However, if getting guys into the league is of concern, then many of your up and comers can’t claim that. Who and how many has Oats, Beard and Muss put in the league? That’s a battle for them too. Now, I’m certainly not taking anything away from their abilities to coach the game, but just stating the fact that recruits don’t always reference how many players you put into the league... otherwise Cal would land the top kids every year. In fact, kids usually don’t have as much say in where they’re going, or at least not as much as what we’d all like to think. I expect Woody to land some top tier kids based on who he knows. What he does with them will directly impact his recruiting after that... just my thoughts.

My opinion - but they’ll need to overpay for a Fife or Lewis. Maybe give Calbert a couple years on the bench, then let him go cut his teeth elsewhere.

I think that he will entice a lot of high profile players to come, considering his NBA schematics.

I personally believe that this will work. I don’t buy into the “no college coaching experience, or the settled for alum because nobody else wanted the job” talk. I wanted Stevens like everyone else. However, I believe that given the proper support, he can flourish. If Woodson can get TJD, Lander, Franklin, Geronimo and Thompson back into the fold... we can win next season, and finish top 5 in the conference. We were in almost every game this past season. I don’t honestly know much about Stewart, but if we can add a solid transfer or two... we could win a lot of those games that we lost this year. If IU puts the right staff around him, I think the program can get headed in the right direction.

Don’t know what it means? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry, I’ve been away for a bit, but I’m really uncertain. I heard that there was a possibility that they might essentially swap with Silver Creek, but nothing concrete. I’m pretty disappointed in the move myself. We always took great pride in beating the bigger schools, in all sports, when I attended. Winning records in football. Back to back final four state finishes in basketball. Also, nearly back to back state titles in baseball, winning one. To me, lowering the bar for lesser competition is irritating.

The Cubs lose quite a bit after the season, but you’ll have that with six seniors. Their 8th grade class is pretty solid and should be decent in a couple of years. They’ll return a couple of kids that have got some big minutes, next season. The Dragons ended up being too much in the last period.

Not having Northern hurts for sure. I haven’t heard why, but I’ll have to check with his dad later. The Dragons pulled ahead, but it’s a nail biter, and might come down to the end of the game. Kaufman looks better thus far in the second half. The Cubs have some quick perimeter players that can shoot and get to the rim. The Dragons might be better off going to a zone.

Silver Creek struggling against a much smaller, but quicker Madison team tonight. Kaufman is having a hard time as well.... not sure about points, but he isn’t scoring much. I think he’s grown a little wider, but he could get bullied his freshman year. Seems to be getting beat to his spot on both sides of the court tonight.

A little late here, but truly disappointed with Vic. I think that I would’ve been less upset if he chose not to go to Orlando at all, given the circumstances. I still have lots of love for him, however, if he moves on in free agency... his legacy will leave a sour taste in a lot of Hoosier/Pacer fan’s mouths. Again, lots of love for Vic, but I’m disappointed.

Absolutely agree here. Also thought that Race looked comfortable taking the outside shot last season, albeit a poor percentage.... but that can improve with reps. I really think Hunter can be a versatile threat.

Lander will be here for at least two years. I’d be surprised if TJD came back for a third, but not completely if he loves the college game or gets valuable information.

On a positive note... Vic actually looked like his old self tonight.

I don’t think he’s on the hot seat yet, nor do I think kids believe that. However, the kids that we target won’t come IF what we produce on the court is poor. That’s what they see, therefore that’s how coaches lose their jobs, or how they’re put on the hot seat in the first place. Win and they’ll come.

I agree and folks need to know, Archie won’t be given a leash like Crean had previously. If this season doesn’t equal a ticket to the dance, winning a game or two.... Archie will be immediately placed on the hot seat.

“Tests revealed a Deep Venous Thrombosis in the young Lakers forward's right arm.” - per CBS Sports on Brandon Ingrim. Isn’t this the same problem that Jerome Hunter had?

DeRozen is only about himself.
